    The issue probably lies in the difference between filling up an entire room with Nitrogen, where exhaled Carbon Dioxide can disperse freely, and having it fed to you with a small mask. There also may be something to be said for the additional stress of knowing you’re about to be killed.

      There may be something to that. A poorly deigned mask might allow co 2 buildup. If I was going to do it, I’d have repurposed one of the old gas chambers.

      And yes, I can’t imagine the mental state makes things any better.
